Discover the impact that SNAP has on the community

SNAP’s vision is to provide a safe environment offering a wide range of support and specialist services with the aim to increase resilience and empowerment within our families. SNAP’s ethos is about strengthening all members of the family.

SNAP – Special Needs And Parents

SNAP – Special Needs And Parents – is an Essex charity for families with children and young people who have any special need or disability. SNAP's aims are to inform, encourage and support parents and carers so that they can grow in strength and knowledge and become better equipped to give the best possible help to their children.

More than 90 supporters attended SNAP’s Afternoon Tea on Monday 4th June and everyone enjoyed a brew-tiful afternoon.

Once again held at the historic De Rougemont Manor in Brentwood, delighted attendees tucked into a selection of sandwiches, cakes and warm scones in support of SNAP. Some guests added extra sparkle with a glass of prosecco, and everyone took part in the raffle and cake quiz (the questions for this are below if you would like to have a go!).

A fantastic total of £1,844 was raised on the day and as well as a giving a big thank you to our guests an extra thank you must go to two local businesses who sponsored the event – HR Solutions and Brentwood Kitchen & Interiors Ltd.

Michelle Andrews, SNAP’s Event and Marketing Officer said: “It has been a great first half of the year for our SNAP social events. Since January we have entertained almost 400 supporters at our Quiz Night, Wine Tasting, Curry Evening and Afternoon Tea events and raised almost £8,000 to date.

“This fantastic total has put a spring in our step for working on our next events further on in the year, Comedy Bingo, Golf, and our Coffee, Cake and Catch-up event. And we are also embarking on our plans for 2019 when SNAP will be celebrating its 25th Anniversary. We already have our first celebration in the diary, The Shenfield Ball – in aid of SNAP – on Friday 15th March, 2019 at Stockbrook Manor!”
